Grouping source IP addresses together enables easier creation of policies. The source IP groups are used for forwarding policies.

To create a source IP address group:

1. Go to Administration > IP & FQDN Groups.
2. On the Source IP Groups tab, select Add Source IP Group.

3. In the Add Source IP Group window:

• Name: Enter a name for the source IP address group. Only alphanumeric characters, underscores, hyphens, and periods are allowed.
• IP Addresses: Enter any number of IP addresses in the following formats.
  • An IP address (for example, 198.51.100.100)
  • A range of IP addresses (for example, 192.0.2.1-192.0.2.10)
  • An IP address with a netmask (for example, 203.0.113.0/24)

You can enter multiple entries. Press Enter after each entry, then click Add Items. For item lists, you can view up to 500 items on a page; filter the list by searching for a word, phrase, or number contained in an item; and remove all items from the list (Remove All) or only items from a specific page (Remove Page). If you select Remove All or Remove Page, a confirmation window appears.

• Description: (Optional) Enter additional notes or information about the source IP group. The description cannot exceed 10,240 characters.

4. Click Save and activate the change.
